On one of the women’s retreats sponsored by our church, we made prayer books. Here’s a prayer I wrote for my book; may it help your mornings as it has helped mine.

Morning Prayer

Higher Power
Gently, warmly move me.
Shower me.
Cleanse me.
Wrap me up.
Bless my head.
Whisper in my ear.
Gently care for mother’s voice;
envelop her with soft white wings
as she beats, harps, screams.
Keep her safe as you guide me in daily choices.
Help me do, complete, accept.
Gentle goals.
Noticing all with clear heart.
Guide me home.
Help me stay present with loved ones
and move ever closer.
Amen.
